The Pittsburgh Pirates placed outfielder Oneil Cruz on the seven-day concussion injured list on Wednesday following his collision in the outfield during a loss to the host Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.
Center fielder Cruz, 26, ran into left fielder Jack Suwinski while attempting to catch Joey Ortiz's double in the fourth inning of Milwaukee's 14-0 victory. Cruz was removed from the game in the top of the sixth inning.
In a corresponding move, Pittsburgh recalled rookie outfielder Ronny Simon from Triple-A Indianapolis.
Cruz is batting .207 in 108 games with 18 home runs, 51 RBIs and a National League-leading 34 stolen bases in 38 attempts. The native of the Dominican Republic is in his fifth season with the Pirates since making his major league debut in October 2021 and has a career .237 average with 58 homers, 188 RBIs and 69 steals in 352 games.
Pittsburgh selected Simon, 25, off waivers from the Miami Marlins on June 2. The native of the Dominican Republic batted .234 (11-for-47) with five RBIs in 19 games for Miami this season.
